The heuristic firing 'OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS' explicitly identifies this as a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically mentioning 'XF.Classic' and 'Poppy by VicodinES'. The document body contains strings like 'An Excel Formula Macro Virus (XF.Classic)' and 'Add New Workbook, Infect It, Save It As Book1.xls', confirming its intent to infect other Excel files and save them as 'Book1.xls' in the startup directory. This indicates a classic macro-based infection and potential payload delivery mechanism.
